    Broken spring in fuel pressure reg on optimax.

    Opti 225 was running weird, rough at idle but cleaned up when powered up.. Took the air/fuel regs apart and found a broken spring on the fuel reg. Not broke all the way thru, just enough for it to not work properly.
    Just a heads up if you are a shade tree opti tech like me. Hadn't seen it talked about since the main focus is the rubber diaphrams failing. EDIT***Upon closer inspection BOTH springs are compromised.
